The mechanical properties of high-entropy alloys are superior to those of traditional alloys. However, the key problem of finding a strengthening mechanism is still challenging. In this work, the molecular dynamics method is used to calculate the tensile properties of face-centered cubic Al0.1CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloys containing Σ3 grain boundaries and without grain boundary. The atomic model was established by the melting rapid cooling method, then stretched by the static drawing method. The common neighbor analysis and dislocation extraction algorithm are used to analyze the crystal evolution mechanism of Σ3 grain boundaries to improve the material properties of high-entropy alloys during the tensile test. The results show that compared with the mechanical properties Al0.1CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloys without grain boundary, the yield strength and Young’s modulus of a high-entropy alloy containing Σ3 grain boundary are obviously larger than that of high-entropy alloys without grain boundary. Dislocation type includes mainly 1/6<112> Shockley partial dislocations, a small account of 1/6<110> Stair-rod, 1/2<110>perfect dislocation, and 1/3<111> Hirth dislocations. The mechanical properties of high-entropy alloys are improved by dislocation entanglement and accumulation near the grain boundary.

Although a high-entropy alloy has exhibited promising mechanical properties, little attention has been given to the dynamics deformation mechanism during uniaxial tension, which limits its widespread and practical utility.

In order to reveal the effect of Mo addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties, (CoCuFeNi)100-xMox (x = 0, 10, 15, 19, and 25, x values in atomic ratio) high entropy alloys were prepared by vacuum arc-melting. The results showed that with Mo addition, the μ phase formed and serious separation occurred in the high entropy alloys. The content of μ phase increased with the increase in Mo content. The microstructure of the alloys changed from an initial single-phase face-center-cubic (FCC) solid solution structure (x = 0) to a hypoeutectic microstructure (x = 15), then to a full eutectic microstructure (x = 19), and finally to a hypereutectic microstructure (x = 25). Coherent interface between μ phase and FCC phase was observed. The (CoCuFeNi)81Mo19 alloy with fully eutectic microstructures exhibited the highest yield strength of 557 MPa and fracture strength of 767 MPa in tensile tests at room temperature. The fracture surface revealed that the formation of great amounts of the μ phase resulted in the loss of ductility of (CoCuFeNi)100-xMox alloys.

Developing cost-effective soft magnetic alloys with excellent mechanical properties is very important to energy-saving industries. This study investigated the magnetic and mechanical properties of a series of (Fe0.3Co0.5Ni0.2)100−x(Al1/3Si2/3)x high-entropy alloys (HEAs) (x = 0, 5, 10, 15, and 25) at room temperature. The Fe0.3Co0.5Ni0.2 base alloy composition was chosen since it has very the smallest saturation magnetostriction coefficient. It was found that the (Fe0.3Co0.5Ni0.2)95(Al1/3Si2/3)5 alloy maintains a simple face-centered cubic (FCC) solid solution structure in the states of as-cast, cold-rolled, and after annealing at 1000 °C. The alloy after annealing exhibits a tensile yield strength of 235 MPa, ultimate tensile strength of 572 MPa, an elongation of 38%, a saturation magnetization (Ms) of 1.49 T, and a coercivity of 96 A/m. The alloy not only demonstrates an optimal combination of soft magnetic and mechanical properties, it also shows advantages of easy fabrication and processing and high thermal stability over silicon steel and amorphous soft magnetic materials. Therefore, the alloy of (Fe0.3Co0.5Ni0.2)95(Al1/3Si2/3)5 holds good potential as next-generation soft magnets for wide-range industrial applications.

This paper presents the microstructure and the mechanical properties of FeNiCrCuAl high entropy alloys. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the annealed FeNiCrCuAl high entropy alloys were investigated using scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. High entropy alloys have been known as a new type of materials and have been defined as having five or more principal elements, each one having a concentration between 5 and 35 at.%. Previous researches show that HEAs can be processed to form simple solid solution structures instead of intermetallics and other complicated compounds. This phenomenon is commonly attributed to the high configurational entropy in the solid solution state of HEAs. Furthermore, HEAs have also exhibited interesting properties such as high hardness and high strength, good thermal stability outstanding wear and oxidation resistance which offer great potential for engineering applications. The HEA systems explored in the past decade show that metallic elements are the most commonly used, e.g. Al, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu,Ti, etc. A wide range of HEAs exhibit high hardness, high strength, distinctive electrical and magnetic properties, high-temperature softening resistance, as well as favorable combination of compression strength and ductility. This combination of properties and the particular structures of HEAs are attractive for a number of potential engineering applications.
